Category: Annual Appeal

The DKF broke last year’s “year-end appeal” record – by raising an all- time fundraising high of $34,007 during their annual appeal. The KIDS Fund beat their goal by $8,000 and since 2008, the KIDS Fund and Harvey, Hanna & Associates team has collected over $132,000 from their annual appeal. Held every year during the holiday season, the program was designed to combat the food insecurity issue amongst Delaware children. Currently, 1 in 5 kids suffer from food insecurity.

The DKF broke an all-time KIDS Fund record by raising $21,000 during their annual appeal held in December. Each year during the Holidays, the DKF and Harvey, Hanna & Associates team focuses on raising funds for Delaware’s hungry children as 1 in 5 suffer from food insecurity. 28 local businesses and 50 individuals helped the KIDS Fund beat their goal by $6,000. The total amount raised will help purchase 60,000 meals for local kids in need during the winter season.

We invite your support to help solve the challenge of food security in Delaware. It’s regrettably true: 244,000 adults and children in Delaware do not have sufficient food — each day, every day — half of whom are children at risk. Contemplate that fact as we prepare to celebrate the holidays. This challenge is known as food insecurity.
